Jack and the Five Princes

A timeless middle‑grade fantasy adventure filled with courage, compassion, and classic fairy‑tale magic.

Seven‑year‑old Jack Higgins has just reached the age of reason-a moment his quiet village marks as the beginning of true understanding. But Jack never expected that his first act of reason would lead him into a world of enchanted secrets, cursed princes, and a witch whose power stretches across the land.

When Jack lifts a stone in the village lane, he discovers Aldren, a prince no larger than a mouse, trapped under a spell cast by the Witch of the Withering Wood. Aldren's five royal brothers are scattered across distant places-each hidden, each cursed, each waiting for someone brave enough to find them.

With a prince in his pocket and a promise in his heart, Jack begins a journey that will test his courage, kindness, and newly awakened reason. Guided by Aldren's quiet wisdom, Jack must learn the old skills of the hedgerows, prepare his mother for his absence, and face the first stirrings of the witch's dark magic.

As Jack steps beyond the creek and into the wider world, he discovers that even the smallest hero can change the fate of a kingdom.
